You have a favorite child, right? You’re not supposed to. But Canadian radio host Buzz Bishop has stepped forward stating he favors his older son and it has sparked a wave of controversy among other parents.

In a blog titled “Admit It,You Have A Favorite Kid. I Do,” Bishop wrote, “If I were to be absolutely honest, my older son is my favorite of the two. He and I are adventurous partners in crime, and I can’t imagine life without him. He was an accident waiting to happen, and I’m so glad it did.”

“I admit it, my oldest son is my favorite because he can do more things. To me, he’s more fun. I don’t love either of my sons any more than the other, but I do like them differently. I’d be willing to bet you’re the same.”

Bishop is also careful to note that even though he prefers spending time with Zacharie over two-year-old Charlie, he doesn’t treat them any differently.

“My choosing Zacharie as my favorite is not about ‘playing favorites,’ or ‘preferential treatment’ when I’m parenting. I don’t let Zacharie get away with anything because he’s my first pick, I just .. yknow .. like him better,” Bishop says.

“From the moment Zacharie became old enough to ‘do stuff’, we have been out doing things. Fishing, camping, hiking, flying kites, riding trains, going to parks. So while Z was old enough to get out and have fun, his younger brother was still in the baby stage.”
